February 21, 2015, marks 50 years since the assassination of Brother Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz). Brother Malcolm is one of the most influential figures in our nation's history and his legacy as a powerful voice and passionate advocate for justice endures to this day. His words and actions continue to inspire generations across the globe in their own struggles against oppression. On this 50th anniversary, we are reminded of the activist and revolutionary Fred Hampton when he said, "You can kill a revolutionary, but you can never kill the revolution." We want to not only remember Malcolm, but reflect on his teachings and his activism in light of the events in Ferguson, the struggle for black liberation, and discuss how the black lives matter movement can move forward.

The panel is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 21st at Blank Space (2847 Cherokee St).

Inspiring a New Generation Fundraising Program Raises $37,000 for our Youth!

Dear Community Members,

I would like to personally thank everyone who came to "Inspiring a New Generation" fundraising program. Alhamdulilah, thanks to your generous donations and confidence in us we were able to raise $37,000 for our youth and to defend civil liberties in our region.

That was one sentiment among the crowd of 80 or so people, many of them students, who gathered Thursday night at St. Louis University to pray for three young Muslims who were shot in the head Tuesday in Chapel Hill, N.C.
